So jokes/fecking terrifying that USA now has an equivalent to that Minister of Information that Saddam had. The guy who literally said everything was going Iraqs way, when bombs were falling all around him.

I think it's gonna be difficult to sway those voters. Some of those who voted for him disliked him but disliked Clinton more or vote R regardless of the candidate. Would garner only half his voters are die-hards. The others were just a combination of likely Republican or swing voters. Democrats should work on turn out in swing states and converting some of those swing voters. No chance they'll be able to make connections with most of those Trumpers.
Everything he says in that video is true and all you can say is you find Pie annoying.
Oh well Im sure he doesnt mind.

I'm fully behind his viewpoint, I just don't get why he always has to do the whole shaky camera, twitchy, still putting his clothes on thing. It distracts from a good message.
Yeah, the act dilutes the impact of the message. It's probably what got him the viewing numbers in the first place but I don't see why it needs to happen every time.
100%
Well, it's youtube. You probably don't get the attention unless you put on a show for a bit. If he wasn't shouting angrily at the camera, he probably wouldn't have went viral. Which is obviously a tad ironic, since he's speaking about Trump.
Thats his schtick..seems to be popular
He was also the "Hail Trump" guy. But he insists that Nazis really don't like him!The guy who got punched yesterday coined the term alt-right, and is associated with the website that produced this gem:

Btw, a little off-topic, I was re-reading the Nazi view on blacks in that article, and got reminded of this:

It's a little crazy that they refer to one term "blacks", given that 'whites' are genetically more similar to 'Asians' than some blacks are to each other.
I was fortunate enough to hear a talk by her last year, she has done some really great research on early human migration.

I am an East Asian National Socialist and a staunch and ardent advocate for, and supporter of, National Socialism and White Nationalism. In my forty years of life, I have been abroad three times, but I have never traveled to an English-speaking country or any of the European countries, at least so far. In writing about my ideological and intellectual journey, it’s actually hard to pinpoint a specific entry point, be it a book, a Website, or something else pertaining to Adolf Hitler and National Socialism, Aryan Nationalism, or the Jewish question, from my decades of learning experiences. I would thus like to offer a couple of anecdotal clues from my recollections.
I would say that my initial contact with and understanding of Hitler and his greatness is a rather visceral and innately congenial process with a natural beginning and a natural course of growth. When I was as young as 13 or so, in the time of my junior middle school, I read books and watched old Western movies on the subject. Despite a predominantly negative portrayal of Hitler and Nazi Germany in the largely English- or American-made movies, I came to feel and view Hitler as being a very extraordinary and remarkable historical figure. It seemed to me that all the outwardly visible things associated with Hitler, the man, and the political, ideological, and artistic expressions under his reign, such as the posters, paintings, the uniforms of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS, the German weaponry, the way the German soldiers conducted themselves on the battlefield, and so on, could only be most appositely described with the word “awe” and its offshoots, such as “awesome,” “awe-inspiring,” or “awe-striking.”

I remember I was reading a book on the history of Pan-Am once, and sometime in the 1960s Juan Trippe, the CEO, gets called to the White House with other heads of industry because Lyndon Johnson is battling with inflation and he's going to ask them to cooperate with him and not increase production nor raise prices in the coming quarters.
At the time of reading I thought 'what a silly way to run an economy', but then I remembered that monetary theory was largely still being written at the universities, you had gold parity and fixed foreign exchange, and the country was still largely a manufacturing one and so it wasn't an absolutely terrible idea (although I believe still futile). But obviously I was thinking like an economist from the 2000s back at people working with much cruder tools, in a different country and world.
Well, Donald Trump has a bunch of CEOs over at the White House to talk manufacturing... I guess all I can say is that the 1960s called, and they want their economic policy back.

I'm hoping this is 'shopped but fear it isn't.

Yeah the genetic pool amongst Africans is very diverse, pretty much every combination of hair/skin/features can derive from "blacks" including albinos.
That comment from the "East Asian National Socialist" is interesting enough though
I don't think I could stomach the comments so soon after lunch.
This has started well. I wish I was still in school, would've been easy to get A's if allowed to use alternative facts.
The press focusses a tad too much on the bones Trump is throwing them. They hopefully dig simultaneously through the shite of the narcissist's business and private life and nail him.
Got a neighbor who is a teacher and he is already expecting his students to start claiming their wrong answers are actually "alternative facts." Some of course will be doing so just to be smart asses, but he expects a few to be serious about it.
It's all over my facebook. Our dissertations can now be written in a month. Tuberculosis as the central villain of Star Wars is my choice.
That's one of the better Star Wars character-names.
I don't like Jonathan Pie or Nazis.
On another note, it'd be cool if alternative facts was the moment where a tipping point of people said, "Ehhh, hang on a minute".

I got linked to this old documentary from reddit and sat and watched the whole thing.
Couple of matters are cleared up (as if there was any doubt),
- He's certainly not a self made millionaire. His dad was absolutely loaded and it was his money and more importantly his political contacts that allowed Trump to make his business moves.
- Trump pretty much invested in any opportunity presented to him. He got lucky with some but most were a disaster.
- He was bankrupt in the early 90s, mainly due to his bad investments in Atlantic city.
He kept losing money in the 60s, 70s and 80s too, with his dad bailing him out at the end. In the 90s in lost investors money, not his. Then he's been using those loses not to pay any tax on his next job - being a TV presenter. He's basically been stumbling into millions of dollars at every step of the way because his dad was rich.

There once was a time when a Press Secretary and Strategist would be running around behind the scene trying to find a way to limit the damage if their candidate or President come out with something like this "alternative facts" nonsense. Now they're out there spewing this rubbish and the media has barely called them on it.
Yeah, they're talking about it. But every media outlet in the states should be on this. This isn't good enough. Spicer lied and he lied on behalf of the president. It was an irrelevant lie. But a lie. And then when called on it, the president's other mouth piece, said that it was fecking "alternative facts".
The President and his team need to be able to be held accountable. With the media not kicking up a shit storm about this, you'd suspect that it won't be the last "alternative fact" that we hear.

It said in the documentary at one point his dad had to buy 3 million worth of casino chips in his casino to pay debtors. That made me laugh.
Aren't many american schools teaching alternative facts, like creationism? Or outdated teaching material in underfunded schools.
Subtle.
I read a piece (I think it was in the FT?) that if he'd dumped his entire inheritence into a bog-standard managed fund as soon as he got his greasy mitts on it then sat back and did absolutely nothing, he'd be better off than he is right now.
Most of the vehicles I look at (MSNBC, CNN, WaPo, The Atlantic, Politico) have first page stories on it, tbf.
Typical of this orange cnut to start preperations for a trade war with China just as I've invested in the resurgence of drybulk shipping.
On a serious note though, someone in the administration must stop him if he plans a trade war. It will be detrimental to the world economy.
CIA, do your thang'.

Considerably so.
Its marginal, there's counter arguments (costs). But generally true that his performance as an investor doesn't rise in any significant way above average. He seemingly went from failure to failure through the 80s and 90s, and then finally hit it with the TV show and licensing (which makes you income while risking no capital) plus his Manhattan properties including the Grand Hyatt (I think, or another hotel close to Grand Central), 'whatever Wall Street', and Trump Tower coming good. He invested in Manhattan, and Manhattan worked out.
Discussing if alternative facts are really facts isn't really enough. This was at a White House Press briefing. This was a lie. It wasn't a mistake. It wasn't corrected. It was compounded by the President's chief of staff or strategist or whatever she is.

The President said in late November that the TPP was "a potential disaster for our country". In its place, he said he would "negotiate fair bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back".
Im looking forward to see the trade deal Trump will offer to his maggie.

I mean... coverage will always vary, each editor choosing something different to highlight. I was just saying that there are stories out there and occupying prime real-estate. I agree it was bizarre (yet again).
Isn't this just a republic version of the Devine Right of Kings. We beheaded one for that. Thinking it is God's chosing that he is president. No wonder there are so many atheists in the world.
I think people focus too much on Trump and not enough on what caused so many American's to vote for him. We know he's said and done a million awful things, but to me it's just fasincating that it worked and he won.
I personally believe all of the shit he came out with was calculated to an extent. In some weird twisted way, the terrible stuff that he's said has gotten him enough support to become the president, and I think he knew that that was his best bet. So what is going on in the minds of almost half of Americans for that to happen? I can't get my head around it.
To some extent, Trump outsmarted Hillary. The twitter thing worked, it was free marketing and he could make it all about him whenever he wanted. He also took advantage of her shocking campaign strategy. If I'm not mistaken, Hillary visited Wisconsin zero times, Trump went all out to get it and for the first time in many years Wisonsin turned republican. It was good campaigning.
I don't know, I'm not particularly knowledgable on American politics but I feel like people are looking the wrong way.
Also, this might not go down well, but the women's march.. why specifically that? Trump said shockingly slanderous things about disabled people, black people, Mexican people and muslims, so why peripheralise all of those issues and solely focus on the '#WomensMarch'? And what the feck was Madonna on about? I dunno, the whole thing just seemed a bit ridiculous to me.
